Straight-Edge-Loyal 6,651 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 11 minutes ago, McEwan's Lager said: Guivar'ch was average at best in the World Cup (he was taken off in the first half hour in their opening game) and was only in the squad because Jacquet needed a work horse to allow Zidane and Djorkaeff to play off and he didn't fully trust Dugarry to put in a shift. We also signed him from Newcastle where he was discarded after 4 games. In fact I think he actually surprised most on signing for us because we weren't expecting much but he did a job in the limited amount of time he was with us. Yeah i remember him point is he has a world cup winners medal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Sometimes we forget how lucky we've been to have such talent as the DeBoer brothers playing for us, as well as all the other stars that turned out for us. Maybe one day a mega rich blue nose will come along, and give us another thrilling time. ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect way to shut that lot up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumbGER 24,518 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 But aye, what a magnificent talent De Boer was, can only dream of getting a player of his pedigree to play for us now. McCann was class aswell for a local lad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 An incredible footballer. Those were the days, signing 30 year-old full internationals from Barcelona; it would be the equivalent of us signing someone like Ivan Rakitic or Arda Turan from them in today's market.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 On his day he was truly magnificent. The way he opened up his shape as he received the ball to pass with his first touch. He always knew where players were before looking up, a great player for us. A player such as him would've won us 10 in a row Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AM1872 92 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Sort of manager we should have looked to bring in. The Ajax selling youth model is one we should adopt but no-one decent is going to come anywhere near us for the foreseeable future. Incredible football brain and more importantly a good set of football contacts to bring in promising young players. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
